What kind of landforms do divergent boundaries make up?
Divergent boundaries create landforms such as rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges. Rift valleys form on continents when land is pulled apart, while mid-ocean ridges develop along the ocean floor as new crust is created.
What three evidence from the sea floor shows that tectonic plates move?
Age of the sea floor: Younger rocks are found near mid-ocean ridges, indicating the process of seafloor spreading. As the plates move away from the ridges, the rocks become progressively older. Magnetic stripes: Alternating bands of magnetic polarity on either side of mid-ocean ridges support the theory of plate tectonics. These stripes form as molten rock at mid-ocean ridges cools and aligns with Earth's magnetic field. Deep-sea trenches: These are formed at subduction zones where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another. The existence of these features demonstrates the movement of plates and the associated plate boundary interactions.
What is the significance of the patterns of offsets along mid-ocean ridges?
the matching patterns on either side of the mid-ocean ridge could be explained by new ocean crust forming at the ridge and spreading away from it as ocean crust forms it obtains the polarity of the earth's magnetic field at that time over time the strength of the earths magnetic field changes when new ocean crust forms at the center of the spreading it obtains a new kind of magnetic polarity over time a series of magnetic ''stripes'' are formed
What kind of rocks is formed in the ground?
Solid rocks
What kind of landform is Honolulu located on?
Honolulu is located on the island of Oahu, which is a volcanic landform. The city is situated on the southeastern coast of the island, surrounded by mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
What kind of landforms are formed at divergent plate boundaries?
Mid Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys.

Which major kind of rock is formed by seafloor spreading?
Seafloor spreading at mid ocean ridges produces magma and later igneous rocks that are mostly basaltic. Being a mafic rock, it ejected from a mid ocean ridge so it is extrusive. Often it is aphanitic and visicular. Basalt is most common on sea floors because the magma that is melted is comprised of mostly mafic rocks.
What kind of rocks are never found in the ocean?
Any rock can be found in the ocean because of erosion (except dry ones).
What kind of rocks are found at ocean to ocean convergent boundaries?
a bunch of them eatin out little four year olds in a truck

What kind of rocks are these?
I found these rocks at the beach and I need to know what kind of rocks they are for a school project
A dime has what kind of ridges around the edge?
The ridges around the edge of a dime is called reeding or milling. There are 118 ridges.
What kind of rocks are found on the ocean floor?
bedrock in minecraft and you cant even mine it with a diamond pickaxe
What kind of salt is used for the Pacific Ocean?
People don't put salt in the ocean, it's made by the eroding rocks over millions of years.
What kind of rock is igneous rock that forms on earth's surface?
Basalt is extruded from volcanoes and MOR (mid ocean ridges). It actually forms in the earth's mantle and just solidifies on the earth's surface.
What kind of temperatures would A place located right next to an ocean would have?
A warm climate
